Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
Love never claims, it ever gives; love never suffers, never resents, never revenges itself. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.
Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable
My life is an indivisible whole, and all my activities run into one another and they have their rise in my insatiable love of mankind
Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.
Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.
Though God may be Love, God is Truth above all.
To me God is truth and love, God is ethics and morality, God is fearlessness.
It was our love of foreign cloth that ousted the wheel from its position of dignity.
One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa, the law of love, daily lessens the circle of destruction and to that extent promotes life and love.
Ahimsa and love are one and the same thing.
We must widen the circle of our love till it embraces the whole village; the village in its turn must take into its fold the district, the district the province, and so on until the scope of our love becomes co-terminous with the world.
There is no love where there is no will
If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to struggle; we won't have to pass fruitless idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering.
